1 (10-ounce) bag frozen broccoli
1 (16-ounce) package cheese tortellini
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon Italian herbs

This was a super-quick and very tasty meal! I used a frozen, unseasoned broccoli & cauliflower mix instead of the Tuscan seasoned and added my own Italian seasoning. I also used Soy-Free Earth Balance instead of butter and vegetable stock instead of chicken. The hubs loved it. Will make again. - 2/4/13
